    Re: Will I have to pass both CDS -I and CDS-II to get the Job?

    Dear aspirant,
    Both the exams u are talking about here are all but the same.
    Their different names is just a result of being held in two different months of the same year.

    So its not necessary for u to appear for the CDS-2 exams if u have already appeared for the CDS-1 exams.
    You should wait for your exam results,as if u qualify,u will be called in for an SSB interview held for about a week before the final selected students are cofirmed.

    hi

    no friend you need not to write both the exam(CDS I AND CDS II).any one you can try..

    then finally you are going to appoint for the training session

    good luck

    Friend, I would like your confusion over CDS I Examination and CDS II Examination. As both are entirely different. Please note that UPSC conducts the CDS Examination two times within a year. Candidates are free to apply either anyone of the CDS Examination or both the CDS Examination. Moreover, there is same eligibility criteria, age limit, educational qualification. Also there is same recruitment process and examination pattern. So it is your decision whether you want to apply only for a single CDS Examination or both the CDS Examination.

    Re: Will I have to pass both CDS -I and CDS-II to get the Job?

    Hello

    CDSE is a combined entry for all three wings in defense.

    It is a Graduate entry for all three wings,that is only for Graduates.

    Now CDSE is conducted twice in a year.

    Thus it is named as CDSE(I) and CDSE(II).

    Now it is common sense that you can apply for any one,both are same.

    You even just mentioned that the syllabus for CDSE(I) and CDSE(II) are same they both are same.

    Just to fill up the number of vacancies UPSC conducts it twice in a year.

    This is much is the point here.

    You just need to apply for any one.
